Explosion Protection Dossier (EPD)
Lifetime tracking of assets and documentation inclusive all updates related to installation, site and service facilities shall be accessible to all on site. All actions on site shall be tracked and documented in order to validate explosion protection compliance lifetime long. Here we recommend to use EPDS with many international references.

System units
The system can be easily adapted to all company types and sizes. In a dynamically changeable structure, everything can be defined at the level of location, organisation, plant, area and zone, and records of their condition can be kept.
Lifetime tracking of equipment
Equipment can be entered in the system and they can be grouped. Individually defined activities can be recorded for each piece of equipment, a series of which together gives the life cycle of the equipment.
Considerations and criteria
EquipmentAn unlimited number of criteria can be set, under which compliance documentation can be created. Pre-compiled criteria packages help companies in various regulated environments, such as the standards applicable to explosive environment, fire protection, food safety and environmental protection.
Building trades
During the establishment of the organisation, building trades can be created, on the basis of which the professional areas and the authorisations associated with them can be distinctly separated. Accordingly, only those who are competent in the subject have access to and may perform operations in the subject associated with a field, so indeed the activities are always performed by the appropriate specialists.
Activity management
The activity function helps Users in performing their everyday work. Any type of activity can be pre-recorded for the equipment and the performance of the work to be carried out on them. Thus, the performance of maintenance, inspection and all pre-recorded activities will be accelerated and simplified.
Verification of User competency
The system provides companies with the ability to ensure that only Users with the appropriate competence have access to a piece of equipment and a particular activity may only be performed when appropriate qualifications are held. Therefore, the training and its date can also be recorded for Users who perform activities or work with machines that require qualifications.
Centralised document management
In addition to storing and managing company policies and associated documentation, the document management module allows version tracking and instant retrieval.
Statistics
The system offers live statistics to maintain compliance continuously, helping both employees working on the site and management see the current condition of the equipment and the extent to which they comply with the particular regulations. Based on the reports on the console, it is possible to make immediate interventions, thereby reducing risks. Review reports and audit support reports significantly accelerate the processes.
Mobile app
Workers on the site can readily identify the equipment and locations after scanning the RFID tags placed on it or at them and will see the data relating to them on their equipment, with which they can perform operations. A client that is also fully functional in offline mode can also be used in places where there is not or may not be Internet connection.
